"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" (Kalem), December 17—A two-part offering more effective than any one, two or multiple-reel picturization of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that we have seen. It has its faults, but its excellencies more than balance them. The best in it is the Simon Legree played by Hal Clemmons, and the strongest portrayal of the part that this reviewer has seen anywhere. This picture is in itself a comment on the presupposition that any and every "big" story needs four to five reels to put it over adequately. It ought to be axiomatic that the fewer the reels a producer can get along with, the stronger his work will be. By the way, the Kalem people are earning the right to be counted experts on Southern stories.
